Vegetable glycerin 99.7 usp

Vegetable Glycerin, also referred to as Glycerin Vegetable, is a 100% natural humectant which absorbs, and holds, water. Glycerin is a hygroscopic ingredient, which means that it draws, and holds, water. Glycerin may be petro derived so it's important that it be purchased knowing whether it is vegetable, or petro, derived, if that's important to your product philosophy. Our Vegetable Glycerin, is 100% vegetable derived and is Kosher certified.

Vegetable Glycerin, is used in personal care products to make the skin draw water, from the environment, binding it to the skin, where glycerin serves as hydration, binding moisture to the skin, to make it more smooth and soft. Care should be taken, when using Vegetable Glycerin, because if glycerin is used in a dry climate it may draw moisture from the tissues.

Vegetable Glycerin, is also highly used in the extraction of botanicals where glycerin improves the extraction, acting as a, weak, water solvent.
